Has Oliver McCall ever had his chin checked?

    Timo Hoffman has a sturdy chin and went the distance with Vitali. McCall's chin is better, I would be willing to put cash on Ollie being able to go the distance with Vitali.

    sure timo went the distance with vitali....he didn't look good doing it though....he absorbed a bad beating that pretty much affected his punch resistance and deteriorated him

    McCall has one of the best chins that I've ever seen. Lewis hit him flush and he didn't blink

    True, McCall said himself that JC Gomez was the only fighter to ever have hurt him. Which is strange since JC Gomez isn't known for being a big puncher at HW. At least not as strong as Lewis, Tyson or Bruno. Shows that good timing can make up for lack of pure power. However, I've seen all these 22 rounds of JC Gomez-McCall I & II and to me it never seemed like Oli was hurt or even slightly buzzed. Well I guess Oliver knows best himself.
